Sony confirmed that the next MLB The Show 26 title update will arrive during the morning of May 8. No, it won’t have any gameplay updates. However, it fixes a crash that can occur in Diamond Dynasty, plus saw the addition of a few new face scans into the game.

Diamond Dynasty

Miscellaneous

This update isn’t as substantial compared to the one that was released on April 30, a meaty one that saw the strike zone in Diamond Dynasty change, plus a slew of other changes.
Sony added the bat skins for the Rangers & Pirates’ City Connect setups in MLB The Show 26. The jerseys for those two teams have not been added to Diamond Dynasty as of this writing. However, the developers indicated in a promo e-mail that the two jerseys would be added to The Show Shop on May 7.
There was also a bug fix for a glitch that would cause a freeze in Diamond Dynasty when using the Player Upgrades menu. While Sony was vague with the context, there was a problem after the April 30 title update that would cause a crash when players entered the player info/player upgrades menu of certain players.
This update will go live for all platforms at 7 AM ET on the 8th.
